THE TRUE "INARDNESS."

The Senate twice passed the bill apprOpria
ting $3.50 900 to furnish the new capitol, the last
time being when It tackled 1t on to the end Of
the general a. preparation bill. The House re-
fused TO consider the measure at all, though
plainly seeing the urgency OF the case and the
necessity of the bill becoming a Law at this SEES
sion Of the Legislature. The horizon of fact
and reason has in vain been scanned for
plausible excuse; even imagination, in Its
flight has not happened on a tason fer such
conduct on the part of the House. At lest
plain, common sense, bread and butter fact

Why not credit the Lower House with

years for new furniture without hurt
to its interest, but suppose the
appropriations SHOULD exceed the reVe-
nues, would not the responsibility
be properly fixed on the Legislature, and
might not even the Statesman be num-
bered among the critics of those who
were profigate in legislation at time
when people were grooming under past
burdens and future prospects?
Again: The Statesman preach2s true,
pure Democracy. Who have been and
who are to-day not only the stauuchest
defenders of Democracy, but the ever
lasting bulwark against communism and
tyranny? Are not the farmers, the men
who own their lands and till them, the
men to whom the Democratic Statesman
appeals in it's pleas for Democratic
policies and Democratic success, the men,
who, to very large extent, sent this Lower
House to Austin, deserving more respect

cisms of their representatives. ? The
harshness of the Statesman is unlike that
paper and unworthy of It.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN KANSAS

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN KANSAS
On last Tuesday in Kansas every wo-
man tWenty-One years old, OF sound
mind, etc, was as free to vote in the
municipal elections held that day as the
Chords CT creation" who have heretofore
had monopoly Of the voting privilege.
1t was the first trial Kansas has made of
woman Suffrage, and therefore to some
extent expe rimental. To read the &C.
counts of the voting it would seem the
experiment was not a brilliant success,
that is If a general turnout of the newly
enfranchised was a test of success. 1t
seems that the ladies, prior to the cleo
ton, registered very freely and talked
braveIy about what they we're going to
do on election day, but when
the time came for exercising their priv
ilege very large percentage weakened
and did not 60 the polls at all, OF those
who did"go, we are told in the dry humor
Of the Associated Press kilograms, that
tmOst of them voted as their husbands
did" Most of the lady voters were, OF
course, married WOmen-iD fact nearly
leo per cent. must have beenVwives or
widows, for there are few women who
reach the age of tWenty-One years with
out yielding to some mans persuasions
that it is better to be wife than live I'M
welded. This feature Of voting as the
husband does is probably all right, and
we shall not argue it. The chief
portunity of exercising a newly acquired
privilege, so novel and so important, too,
as voting, that so many of the Kansas
women were disinclined to utilize it.
No doubt the natural timidlty OF the sex
had much to do with their course, and
herein hes one Ct the greatest objections
to comforting the suffrage upon women
that those who by reason of their char
acter and intelligence ought to vote
will stay away from the polls and
permit their sex TO be represented
there by women whose influence and
aspirations are not calculated to better
society in any way, and whose votes will
therefore assist the very element, male,
into office that ought to be kept out. If
women are to vote at all it is the best Of
the sex. who ought 60 do so, and if woman
suffrage is continued in Kansas the good
and pure women will find out ere long
that they must go to the polls en- masse
and put in their votes with the best ele-
ment of male voters, or the system will
soon grow TO be nuisance and menace
to reputable, orderly local government.
They will have to vote, in self-defence.

REPUBLICAN papers are commenting on
the result of the Chicago election as proof
positive of a fixed determination on the
part of the people to be heard on ques-
tions which are now agitatiDg the public
mind. The claim is that the victory
gained is owing to the fact that Demo
Gratis would not be forced into an indOrse-
ment of socialism, but preferred voting
the Republican ticket or remaining away
from the polls. Whatever may be the
logic of the event, it is certain that
socialism and anarchy have received 8 Sc
we're check, and to the seven condemned
leaders the sounds of rejoicing must ring
in their ears as the knelI of doom. There
will be little room for the exercise Of
John Most's talent in maneuveriDg his
20, 900 men, which he SO recently urged as
an effective means in carrying out his
theories. The American people are not
yet ripe for such experiments, and there
is little doubt that party lines, as well as
sectional differences, would disappear
when they are called to confront COM
mon enemy.

INCHES are short measures, but are
sometimes important issues. The lady
managers of a charitable entertainment
in Newark, N. j., have found much trou-
BILE in adjusting skirt lengths for the ANA
teur chorus girls in the "Chimes of Nor
mandy" For time all harmony was
tangled, but compromise was effected
at thirteen inches from the foor-extrem-
lists having demanded eleven and eighteen
inches. The effect of the agitation has
been favorable to the scheme, as all the
tickets have been sold and are now being
repurchased from original holders at q
large appreciation. Thirteen inches won
the day, and also the hearts Of those who
do not approve the ballet. Oh, no!

THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW - New

David D Field opens the April number
with plea for "Open Nominations and
Free Elections" asserting with too much
show of truth that under existing meth
DDS elections are conducted more in &C.
cordance with an oligarchical than free
government. His object in writing this
paper is clearly TO arouse public atten-
ton to existing evils and induce freemen
to act as such, and no longer be puppets
in the hands Of ward politicians and
bosses in primaries. The suggestions he
makes in regard to means adapted to the
end of purifying politics and enlisting
the earnest work of every voter are
worthy of consideration, and with SO

THE letters of Senators Coke and
Maxey are timely documents. These
gentlemen have enjoyed the honors of
Texas, and at this iuncture do not hest
tate to tell the people how they
view the question of prohibition, albeit
that question has been eliminated from
partisan politics. Senator Maxey will
vote for the amendment and Senator Coke
will vote against it. These distinguished
leaders of Democracy will vote their in
dividual sentiments, and their counsel
and their expressed determination comes
at this time as oil upon waters that might
be troubled. The example thus set is
worthy all ecceptation, and every man
should promptly froWn down attempts to
make this partisan struggle or religious
crusade, to the end that the canvass may
be conducted in a manner conducive to
the glory and honor of Texas.

The latest wrinkle about the inter-
state commerce law is that it is to protect
the colored men ofthe south who ride on
railroads. One section of it enacts that
it shall be unlawful "to subject any par
ticular person, firm, company, corpora
ton, or locality, or any particular de-
scription of traffic, to any undue or IN
reasonable prejudice or disadvantage in
any respect whatsoever" This would
seem TO be fully broad enough to cover
the case of the negro. 1t really looks as

THE RHODE ISLAND LESSON.

THE RHODE ISLAND LESSON.
The complete rout of the Chicago So
ciallsts is something for the whole coun-
try to feel good over; the complete dis
ruption of the Democratic party in the
cities of Cincinnati and Chicago is mat
ter that may well put Democrats every
where to thinkiDg-but perhaps the great
est surprise of the late elections was the
victory achieved by the Democrats in
Rhode Island, in the election Of their can
didate for Governor. 1t is the first time
such thing has happened in that state
since the civil war, and nearly thirty
years Of uninterrupted power has led the
Republican bosses to believe they had an
iroD-cIad mortgage on the politics Of the
little state. The result does not amount
to much in a political way, for even should
Rhode Island 90 Democratic in the ma
tional election next year her quota Of
electoral votes is only two, albeit there
NAV come a time when even these two
votes will be very welcome 10 the
Democrats. But the result is de
cidedIy important and interesting when
viewed in it's bearing on the sentiment OF
| the American people respecting popular
and unabridged suffrage. A very large
proportion of the citizens of other states
are actually not aware of the restrictions
and limitations upon manhood suffrage
| in Rhode Island. 1t is the last one of the
colonial theory that the common people
are not capable of selt-government and
that universal suffrage is dangerous,
Under the federal constitution every
Rhode Islander who can come up to the
requirements laid down by national law
may, of course, vote for presidential cleo
tors and members of Congress. This
privilege could not be abridged by state
laws But it is in local affairs where the
restrictive policy applies, and it is stub.

lions. This absolute. Acknowledgement
is made effective by means OF q property
qualification. For years there has been g
strong sentiment in the state for LIBERAL
izing suffrage, giving every man the full
prerogatives OF citizenship, but no head
way could be made. The example OF
other states and the proven safety Of IN
restricted suffrage was cited in vain to
the dominant party. All the arguments
did not shame or move them. Now, as
above stated, the Republicans have
held power in Rhode Island nearly thirty
years, and during that time there has not
been a year that the Republicans could
not, if so disposed, have swept away the
old, illibersl statutes against popular suf-
frags.. The party refused to do this, and
in the election just closed has met its
lust reward. The Democrats took the
side of popular suffrage and must have
drawn help from the more liberal and
progressive Republicans. We do not
construe the result so much as q
Democratic victory as a revolt Of the
enlightenment and pa triotism of the peo-
pie of Rhode Island against the un-Ameri-
